The old and much loved machine was pretty simple. I would put it on 30 or 40 degrees on the left hand side of the dial (for synthetics) or 30, 40 or 60 on the right hand side for cottons and bedclothes. Job done.
Then it died and I had to get a new one (not easy to afford) which arrived today.
It seems to have 146 and a half programs complete with flashing lights and computer controls. I've read the instructions twice and they still are gobbledegook. All I want to do is make a start on the washing backlog and have some clean clothes and bedding for us - but I can't work out how! I've retreated upstairs with the instructions to read them for a third time.
Have you all got your washing machines under control easily or am I being a total wimp?
PS - I can (just about) understand the elf and safety guidelines on 'explosions' but I note that mine also say 'Do not climb onto the washing machine'. Am I missing some vital experience here?
